ABAcus coaCHING

After several attempts I could I was terrible in maths in high school and had to join a coaching classes. The classes were near my house so walking for that much distance was ok for me. My maths however did not improve but I was made famous in the coaching by the vision of several students. One day I was late for class and was scolded by Sir very harshly. Throughout that particular class I was numb and couldn’t concentrate on any of the numericals being solved on the screen. However,once the class was over and students started to leave I was held back by my teacher and he told me very politely that wishes to see me everyday in alter condition he doesn’t feel the push to teach the students as I bring a wave of fresh air in the class.

Now, I was horridly confused if he was actually praising my work because that my answer test sheets wouldn’t suggest or he was just comparing me to a commodity that help pleasant up a room!

That day I did not say anything, gave him a quick smile and returned back to home.

Next few days were ok but he would constantly find a reason or two to hold me back after every other child leaves and would talk to me about various things, like how he was not married, how he had the responsibility of the whole family.

He seemed to be a nice man but his doings would make me think the other way. Just on one of the ordinary days,he again asked me to stay back even when the study hours were over, this time he raised his bar and held my hand when no one was in the room.

I was seeing him through my wide eyes open and did not know what to do.

He said to me he liked me very much and wanted to even hug me.

Then he stood up, took his steps back and opened his arms wide in order to embrace me into them, I had seen this kind of behaviour by a man on screens many times and always thought the girl is lucky enough to have 

this moment but my time was a bit different…a lot different..there was no happiness or hope of this blooming relationship and in turn I was petrified with it.

I did not say and do anything and just moved out of the room.

Next day, however I still went to the coaching classes and he locked the room as soon as I entered, much to his dislike I puked on him before he could do anything.

And I said thanks to the last night chowmein from the thela , I asked for soo many blessings for that man who sells noodles there.

But was I petrifried, scared or lost this time?

No!

Because I was aware of this and had been getting intuition about it since a couple of days.

Yes!

I did not take any strict action against it, that was surely my mistake which could have enunciated into something much larger and even a hideous crime for that matter.

Everybody in that area would praise him as to what a nice man he is and how well spoken he is.

So if he did it, then why?

Was he so lonely?

Did he really need somebody?

 Unfortunately couldn’t get the answers of these questions and I decided to leave the coaching.I passed 10^th long back and it doesn’t matter now, I have heard he still is trading his coachings there and nobody has ever made a complaint against it, he didn’t even messaged or called me after that day.

Several questions still run through my mind even though it’s a thing of past.

Now as an adult I can think about it in much more gravity and possible aspects of that situation and both the behaviours in that situation.

Maybe someday, or in some year , I would go and stand on that door and knock it myself!
